i hate facebook as much as the next person but the products definitely aren't worse, I just figure that iteration on VR tech is really hard. The quest 2 and quest 3 are, genuinely, kind of incredible devices from a technological perspective, they're just hamstrung by faceook. that's bad but I don't think it's fair to say the products are specifically worse when oculus was acquired so early on

Facebook is the only reason I don’t already have one or two of these headsets right now.

IIRC the quest 2 is jailbroken, if you can get your hands on one secondhand might be worth looking around to see what your options are
